Hi everybody, I have been busy making some new beards and braids from the Playmobil Vikings. Here are some of the figures that I made. One I updated him by adding a braided mustache. By using epoxy and either sculpting or cloning items, I was able to make these new beards and braids. I keep getting better for the most part, creating new accessories for Playmobil. What else do you think I should try next???

For this Dark Age hut I took the base of one of the igloos, cut up some paper then taped it into a circle to fill a void between the igloo base and pirate roof. I then cut up some ice cream sticks and glued it to the paper and finally painted the ice cream sticks. Not bad for the first time, the next hut I am planning on making it look a little different.

Playmobil made some nice sets for the Viking theme, like the longboat. They made the Fortress or Longhouse 3151, it is a good place for the Vikings warriors and their Jarl. Great to guard a port and help defend a village. But if you want a house for a village for the Viking theme or Medieval theme there is none. They make some nice cottages for a Medieval town or castle, but not for a simple village. So what to do if you want a setting for your Vikings when they want to settle down or they want some place to raid besides a castle? Either you pray that Playmobil will made something in the future or you have to create one. Well that is what I have set off to do, build a custom Playmobil Viking or Medieval Village.
